I had a nice birthday

Well, I had a very nice birthday and thank you to everyone who sent me birthday greetings. I think Ferney was jealous because David cooked me a delicious lamb supper. Glynis must have been very busy because her cake hasn’t arrived yet. I think my party has been delayed too. I heard that there was a musical evening the night before my birthday. Lots of my friends were there, Linda sang some songs and everyone had a really good time. It’s just unfortunate that Linda and David forgot to take me with them. I expect everyone there would have liked to sing Happy Birthday to Rupert. I was pleased, though, that Linda and David decided to stay at home with me on my birthday rather than go out and eat fish and chips.

Here’s a photo Victoria sent me — I think it would make a nice birthday card, although Linda might need to take a more flattering photo of me — preferably after a visit to Funky Toiletage. I might suggest that Linda starts making some. An even bigger surprise was that I got a card from Kandy the cat, which was very kind of her, but I don’t think we’ll ever be friends. Sadly, the squeaky bone that Lyn and Helen gave me last week has broken. I’m pretty sure David didn’t have anything to do with it, although I got the feeling he wasn’t pleased when I woke him up the other morning by playing with it next to his pillow.

I've heard that Linda and David are going on a Treasure Hunt next week. I hope they take me with them — I'd be good at sniffing out treasure, as long as it doesn't involve truffles.
